Sweet & Creamy Thai Iced Tea

When I go out to eat or get take out from my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I love getting a nice glass of Thai iced tea. They serve it in these cute to go cups and with boba straws. In addition to looking really nice it also pairs so well with whatever I decide to eat!

Thai iced tea is also incredibly easy and affordable to make right at home! It’s only 3 ingredients and takes no time at all. When I make it I like to make enough to fill a half gallon mason jar, it’s the perfect amount to have on hand for a quick treat.

If you’re having people over for a New Year’s Eve party and you’re not sure what to serve for drinks, you really can’t go wrong with Thai iced tea! Both children and adults love it and will love you for making it! Plus if you’re feeling a little saucy, toss a shot of vanilla vodka for some extra fun!
